Cleansing Hair With Clay
You have more options than ever when it comes to cleansing your hair. Regular shampoos are joined by clarifying and chelating formulas, along with products designed specifically for co-washing. Then, you have clay. Not the material you may have played with in elementary school, but clays made just for getting dirt and grime out of your tresses.
Benefits of Clay Cleansing
Sulfate-free shampoos are highly touted for getting hair clean without being as drying as sulfate cleansers. Even so, some women feel their hair is “stripped” with a sulfate-free product. Clays draw out dirt and impurities, but do so without taking away the natural oils. Some clays are better at drawing out toxins, while others are better for moisturizing.
Which Types of Clay
Bentonite is among the most well-known types of clay for cleansing, but it’s far from the only one. You may find your hair prefers a certain type of clay over others. When it comes to quality, some women report “grittiness” or clumping, so buy from a retailer with a good reputation to get the best clay for your money.
Other clays to use:
- Kaolin
- Green
- Rhassoul
Be Ready to DIY It
Finding clays is simple, but finding ready-to-use clay cleansers isn’t. Be prepared to do it yourself and mix your clay with other ingredients to get your final product. A benefit of this is you know exactly what’s going on your tresses, and you can tailor a mix to your specific needs. While it can be messy to create your own mixture, think of it as designing a product that fits you perfectly.
Adding Clay to Your Regimen
If you find mixing your own clay cleanser a hassle, remember that you don’t have to cleanse your hair with it every time it’s dirty. Instead, add clay as an occasional treat to your hair care regimen, alternating it with your favorite traditional cleansers.
